Shotgun found during search for law-office burglary evidence

Prosecutors filed a misdemeanor gun charge against the man arrested after police executed a search warrant related to the burglary of the law offices of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's attorney.

Prosecutors did not tie Calvin Ware, 41, to the burglary, though, either in court documents or during his appearance on Sunday in Cook County Circuit Court. Ware, charged with unlawful use of a weapon, was given a $25,000 bond and ordered to return to court on Friday.

Assistant State's Attorney Sara Grgurovic said in court that police found a sawed-off shotgun when they searched Ware's apartment on the 6200 block of South Greenwood Avenue on Saturday.

Documents said the weapon was loaded and five additional rounds were found in a dresser belonging to Ware. He acknowledged owning the gun, the documents said.
